- α-Mercapto-ω-carboxy polyethylene glycol
Thio-PEG12-acid is a highly versatile compound used in the process of pegylation. Pegylation involves the attachment of polyethylene glycol (PEG) to various molecules, enhancing their stability and extending their half-life in the body. Thio-PEG12-acid serves as a crucial component in this process, acting as a PEG linker that connects the target molecule with mercapto PEG or other PEG products.
With its unique structure, Thio-PEG12-acid offers excellent reactivity and compatibility with various functional groups. It contains a thiol group (mercaptan), which enables efficient coupling reactions with molecules possessing suitable reactive groups. This flexibility makes it an ideal choice for creating heterobifunctional PEG derivatives.
The use of Thio-PEG12-acid in pegylation processes allows for precise control over the attachment of PEG to target molecules, resulting in improved pharmacokinetics and therapeutic efficacy. Its acid functionality also provides additional versatility, enabling further
